The fighting at the south of the line was not so intense as further north. _Battle of the Ancre._ 5 April, 1918. The despatch does not mention the units engaged, but the 47th was in the line and had very heavy fighting in this battle on 5th-6th April. _The Battle of Amiens._ 8-11 Aug., 1918. Not in despatch.
